Peak-Haskell should have been a transportation priority a decade ago, and now it's edging toward the critical point -- should the neighborhood be protected from ridiculously inadequate peak commuter infrastructure. Central and I-30 are the clear feeders to the the potent employment and educational ...

Top 10 Dallas-Fort Worth locations primed for Amazon HQ2 https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2018/10/16/top-10-dallas-fort-worth-locations-amazon-hq2.html How is Las Colinas not on this list? That is surprising. It would seem Las Colinas meets as much of Amazon's criteria as many of these sites.

Went to the Galleria a couple of weekends ago on a Saturday only because I was nearby and thought lets check it out needed a few things. Wow how sad the mighty has fallen. Store fronts closed across several sections. Hardly anyone there felt like I was at an outlet mall. Maybe they can convert the ...

I hope they fix the sidewalks surrounding this new building, specifically along Caroline. Doing so would do a lot towards helping to get people from Ascent, Moda, and Victory Place to Right Aid and the new Tom Thumb by foot. Here's a question, is Caroline Street really necessary or could it be conv...

The buildings they want demolished connect to city owned property (the skyway). Maybe we have some leverage here. I think First Baptist knows that, and for that reason was trying to sneak the demolition by everyone before announcing the larger plans. If they need some kind of permit or variance or ...

Thanks for confirming your misunderstanding of the full-service hotel market. ;) I have zero desire to reveal my occupation in an attempt to win a silly argument with an anonymous internet forum battle, so you're welcome to believe whatever you like :) Time will tell who is correct. Personally I th...

Someone driving the wrong way in a Jeep crashed into the Green Door Public House last night. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/traffic-accidents/2018/09/20/no-customers-injured-jeep-crashes-downtown-dallas-restaurant-still-open Green Door put some plywood up to seal the hole and is already back open!...

Hi- Regular business traveler here - the hotel flag/branding or level of service is about priority six or seven when booking a hotel. No one says "oh, well the AC hotel is for young, hip, socialites, and the Springhill is for families who want extra space and free breakfast for the kids, so I ...

I agree. Most of the shopping I do in Palm Springs, which is hot AF (easily 115º+ in the summers), is outdoor. Among other things, stores place misters above the sidewalks and patios which helps to keep things "cool" outdoors in the dead of summer.

Since it seems so clear HQ2 is DC-bound, my best case scenario at this point would be for the HQ2 to be split across a few cities, one of which being Dallas. Hillwood Properties' president suggested this was a possibility a few months ago in an article, and there would be some logic in Amazon having...

CyrusOne relocating its headquarters to Dallas' Harwood District https://www.bizjournals.com/dallas/news/2018/08/29/cyrusone-relocating-its-headquarters-to-dallas.html The reason why I like this building, is because of the earuopean style esplanade ! I'm excited to experience it! Hopefully it's liv...

Cinepolis is pricey but where I live most of the year, we almost always see movies at Cinepolis or The Lot (a comparable luxury theater chain) because those places are a really convenient/fun/easy family night out.

It is surprising that they would jack the rent up, especially considering the number of concepts that have failed in this spot. Mesero seemed like the first since the days of Cuba Libre to make a bit of headway. It was my go-to date spot too! That's a bummer! That was my go-to TexMex spot and a see...

I'd give it a try. It's not The Mansion or anything, but it's a fine spot to have a bite/drink before a game. Are the drinks better than the Bowen house? So I take it this will be a Mexican or Latin concept? I hope it's a success. Wonder what they'll do w parking. I've only been to the Bowen House ...

If you Google the Crystal Palace, you'll notice that it's much more spread-out and shorter (3ish stories). Who knows if the new owners will want to maintain that style, but one can imagine how a 4 story-tall expansion could make the Infomart appear even more consistent with its historic inspiration....
